Signal and Power Integrity Engineer

Job Description

As a Signal and Power Integrity engineer, you will take a critical role in developing next generation consumer hardware systems. You will be part of the EE design team, and responsible for simulation and validation of systems and boards, validating results in the lab for correlation to design specifications and improving design quality. The person in this role is expected to work independently and lead projects, as well as work within teams interfacing with other engineers, technicians and/or outside vendors to complete all necessary validation tasks. In particular, the role entails close collaboration with EE designers, system validation engineers, and vendors to help establish/validate system requirements and hardware specifications.
